Actions Speak Louder Than Words

quintella (Spanish quintain) in pentameter Hard-working spider, you do your part, instinctive busy spider that thou art. You speak without doubt as you weave your web. It is we humankind that tend to ebb and surge, trying to balance mind and heart. One day man, I'm down, oh my restless soul. On rising up, how can I dare extol a friend or employer on a mere whim; then the very next day dishonor him by rank conduct that is out of control? Consistency is a course of action, a gift that structures one’s reputation. It is ripe fruit of making wise choices; it is prudent forethought which rejoices beyond just making a good impression. Yes, speak if you wish of what you believe; AND watch what you do, lest you should deceive by your performance that which you profess. Would spiders agree - caprice creates stress? A web of whimsy is not worth the weave. written 30 March 2016
